NBA Trade Rumors: Just a few days before the NBA Trade Deadline, we make seven bold predictions for what could possibly take place over the next few days.

The NBA Trade Deadline festivities began a bit early when the Brooklyn Nets traded Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for a package centered around Spencer Dinwiddie and a future first-round pick. Even though we’ve already seen the big name moved, there still remains plenty that needs to be settled just a few days before the deadline.

How many other big moves will be made? Will the Los Angeles Lakers make a big move in an attempt to make up for missing out on Kyrie Irving? What contenders will be aggressive heading into the push toward the playoffs?

Will any deadline move top the Kyrie Irving trade?

The next few days could prove to be increasingly interesting in the NBA and will absolutely play a huge role in how the remainder of the season unravels. Is there a move that will top the Mavs’ move for Kyrie?

We will find out soon enough. In the meantime, we explore seven bold predictions for what could end up being a chaotic NBA Trade Deadline.
